Apple releases macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 and Sequoia 15.7.8 security updates
Apple rolled out security updates for macOS Sonoma 14.8.8 and macOS Sequoia 15.7.8 on Monday, addressing roughly 138 distinct vulnerabilities. The patches include fixes for WebKit flaws that could expose data while browsing, but they add no new features. Apple continues to back‑port security fixes to older macOS releases, stressing that devices still on macOS Sonoma or Sequoia remain vulnerable without the update.
The updates are recommended for all users not yet running macOS Tahoe, and Apple provides direct download links via the Mac App Store and its website. Installers for both versions are also available as full‑image files. Apple also issued accompanying security updates for macOS Tahoe 26.6, iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, watchOS, tvOS and visionOS.
